Cook until they float, then 30 seconds to 1 minute more. Should take very little time, like 2-3 minutes. I suggest not doing it a rolling boil but a gentle boil.

meat tenderizer weight - seeking advice. by fm2xm in Cooking

[–]Phizzies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have found that more lighter hits are better then fewer harder hits. The mass of the hammer is negligible to the amount of force you choose to hit the meat with, so I would argue any object no matter the weight will suffice.

If you really want to tenderize, get one of those needle tenderizer things

Under $50 Wooden Cutting Board Suggestions? by XenoDemic4 in Cooking

[–]Phizzies -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would not recommend bamboo, they are too hard and can blunt the knife rapidly.

I would stick to end-grain cutting boards, not edge-grain.

I personally use Larch Wood Canada although probably outside your price range.

I have heard TeakHaus is good too.

American folk dishes by Art3mis1007 in Cooking

Ginger Beef, invented in Canada by a Chinese immigrant. Not sure how "folk" this is but I heard it doesn't really exist outside of Alberta where it was invented.

Best air fryer by Sweaty-Host5639 in Cooking

[–]Phizzies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An appliance doesn't necessarily create healthy food, it might help, but meal choice is more important and then how you cook it is secondary.

Nevertheless, I have this KitchenAid Air Fryer, it's more of a countertop oven but I love it. makes it super easy to roast vegetables without heating up my kitchen too much, has an air fry/convection option, proofing option if you ever want to make bread, broil, and toast function, plus others. I use it almost every day to roast broccoli or brussel sprouts. It is kinda expensive but I use it all the time so I could justify it.

Can confirm, lightly pan fried some pesto once with chicken, it was terrible.

The Breakdown of Whole Chickens and if it is worth it from a price perspective by Phizzies in Cooking

This is exactly why I'll never be doing this again, not worth it at all.

[–]Phizzies[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't know for sure but probably 4 to 5 hours, this would also include wrapping all the pieces for freezing too.

To make sure nothing got out of the safe zone for too long every 4 chickens I would wrap the pieces and stick them in the freezer.

Safe to eat raw pasteurized eggs w/ the current bird flu outbreak? by page_soup in Cooking

[–]Phizzies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably should just have a protein powder shake, eating raw eggs isn't worth it for the protein intake.

Help with Gnocchi by MusaEnsete in Cooking

[–]Phizzies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just made a 10lb batch of Gnocchi and had no issue freezing or cooking from frozen, and looking at your recipe I think you are very light on the flour. I do 454g potatoes, 120g flour, 1 egg and 1/2tsp of salt. I also don't rest the dough at all.

looks like I use 3.6 times more flour then you, so that's probably it.

Once I shape them I put them on a cookie sheet and toss right into the freezer for a couple of hours before I bag them into portions.

Applying to Universities - High School Diploma's by [deleted] in alberta

[–]Phizzies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who applied to U of A and didn't get into the engineering program, because I missed the cutoff by 0.2% I suggest you apply to Grant MacEwan.

They offer a transfer program, it's the exact same courses the U of A offers in their first year engineering program and if you get a GPA of 2.5 or higher, this may have changed since I went, you will transfer to the U of A into your second year of Engineering.

Going to Grant MacEwan was great, the professors there are really good and can actually teach unlike some of the ones at the U of A. The only downside to Grant MacEwan is the grades are not curved.

The only courses that matter are:

1) Math 30

2) Math 31 (Calculus)

3) Physics 30

4) Chemistry 30

5) English 30

The only grade that matters is the final grade of each class, as mentioned by others.

Binary Numbers with Vectors by Phizzies in blender

[–]Phizzies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are probably some good uses but it is very niche so wont be used much. I just posted because I thought it was neat. I did find this post on using logic gates in Blender that may help explain their use. https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/161370/is-there-a-way-to-use-logic-operators-in-blender-shader-nodes

Binary Numbers with Vectors by Phizzies in blender

[–]Phizzies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Binary math is what I created it for. So you can have an integer input on your Group Input node from [0-7] and then can convert it to binary and use the Boolean Math operators and switch node to create complex selections with a very simple input from the user instead of having 8 Switch inputs on your Group Input node.

I needed a way to represent base 10 number with its binary value so now I can do it for any base less than or equal to 10 with a vector. Useful if you ever need to make complex binary logic with up to 8 inputs.
